Waterfalls are always nice subjects for photography. It is even more interesting when you can photograph them in different ways. One way to see waterfalls in a different form is to go see them during the colder months if you can. Watching how waterfalls transform as they begin to freeze when temperatures drop is so interesting. There are opportunities to capture all sorts of unique images. The water flow changes and ice… Read More
There are a lot of nice places to explore nature near where I live. One of my favorite local spots is Steege Hill Nature Preserve from the Finger Lakes Land Trust. There are several trails to explore while at Steege Hill. The trail I like the most is the yellow trail. And this photo illustrates my favorite part of that particular trail. On this section of trail there is a persistent layer… Read More
One of the nicest places to hike in the winter is Taughannock Falls State Park. The park features a 1 mile trail that is pretty level and relatively easy to navigate even in the snow. And as a reward for braving the cold and the snow there is the 200+ foot waterfall to view at the end of the trail. The waterfall is quite a site throughout this time of year as… Read More
Winter is a time of year when I can really struggle in creating new photography. I am much less adventurous in winter. And my photography probably suffers for that. I always want to take more winter landscape photographs, but somehow never seem to make it happen. Getting out and actually creating some nice winter scenes always makes me happy and fulfilled. For anyone else whose photography drops off during winter I wanted… Read More
I always like to check out new spaces. This was my first time at Hemlock Lake. I look forward to going abck. I was lucky to have this beautiful winter scene to photograph. Snow covered levee. Frozen Lake. Geese all about. There was a large flock of geese on the lake. There are two flocks of gees flying in towards the lake off in the distant sky. I wasn’t quite sure what… Read More
If there is any one place that I long to return to it is Alaska. There is an overwhelming amount of beauty to see there. The small slice I was able to see there over a decade ago will live with me forever. That is one of the many reasons I love photography. Create memories you can take with you and live with forever. Getting a close up look at a glacier… Read More
Big fluffy dogs often love being outside in the winter. Snow on the ground. Cold crisp day in March. Nothing better than trotting around the yard and enjoying the day if you are a big fluffy chow mix dog. This is a dog my dad had named Chewing. Such a friendly loving dog. I always enjoy am opportunity to photograph a fury family member. Photo details: Nikon D300. Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8. Focal… Read More
I love to try new things and on this day I got a twofer. I put snowshoes on my feet for the first time ever. And then I went and ran a 5k wearing said snowshoes. I don’t know if I would have participated in this event otherwise, but I made a commitment to myself to run all the events in the Finger Lakes Running Club trail series and the Super Frosty… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 112. The last two times I was at Eldridge Park there were lots of great birds there. Birds that I had been looking for the past three weekends. Birds that I would really like to photograph. However, during he last two visits I was not there for photography and I did not have my camera. Since I had been seeing good bird activity I wanted to… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 91. We have been experiencing beautiful early spring weather here in my region of upstate, New York. Then this overnight snowstorm swept through the area. At this point I am pretty much ready to be done with snow. But snow can make for beautiful photography subjects. If there had to be a storm the timing of this one was very fortunate for me. Today was the… Read More
